Flash-based games
With an internal team of Flash designers and developers, Glyph is ideally suited to localizing Flash-based games, whether for the web (Facebook, MySpace) or for export to mobile web. We speak ActionScript and can help you get to the solutions quickly.
RPG
The key to excellent RPG games localization is understanding the local player's frame of reference. In order to support "suspension of disbelief" in a new language and culture, your localization partner needs to understand the factors that drive belief in the first place. Glyph's teams take the time to understand the story, the characters and the setting and produce localized versions of the UI, in-game text and audio scripts, approaching the game experience as the local end-user would. We make appropriate localization choices to create a polished market-relevant experience.
MMOG
If your niche is MMOG, in addition to localization, Glyph offers customized language filters that allow you to flag sensitive content in your communities. For example, if you are worried about your users talking trash about the Chinese government (and China shutting you down as a consequence), Glyph can provide you with sensitive terminology lists that can form the backbone of content flagging filters. We have developed comprehensive lists in more than 100 languages covering a full range of profanity, culturally sensitive content and geopolitically inflammatory language.
Games Marketing
Whether you are localizing a game mini-site or your corporate site, you can count on Glyph's team to help you find ways to save money on web localization without sacrificing on quality.
